Magic of Thieves by C. Greenwood

Magic
of Thieves is Book 1 of the Legends of Dimmingwood written by C. Greenwood.

Ilan is a survivor of the Praetor’s cleansings in
the province where those possessing magic are murdered. Her parents die trying
to protect her leaving her an orphan at a very young age. She finds refuge in the
forest of Dimmingwood with a band of thieves led by Rideon the Red Hand where
she is practically raised by Brig and the other outlaws.

There she learns to protect and defend herself and
eventually becomes an official member of the band, all the while keeping her
power from the group a secret.

The book is an interesting and exciting book about
thieves, which reminds me so much of the movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with all the romance and novelty of
living in caves, hunting for food and fighting using blades and bows. In
addition to the charming setting is the set of interesting characters, my
favorite of which is Brig, Ilan’s kind guardian. I, however, find Ilan not to
my liking as a protagonist. I find her too stubborn with a bit of an attitude
which may be attributed to her being raised by outlaws instead of loving
parents. I especially like the leader, Rideon. He is smart, firm and practical.

Though I generally enjoy reading the story, I find
the ending a little disappointing. I believe, however, that it is a strategy by
the author to keep the readers interested. Still, I prefer it if there was at
least one resolution to a conflict. As it is, this book is not as satisfactory
as I hoped it would be.

Congratulations to C. Greenwood on such an
interesting story. For more books by the author, visit C. GREENWOOD.
